  • My son attended the Matrix Year 11 Chemistry course and by all reports it was a great idea to do this. The quality of the instruction and texts made available to him were very helpful and have given him a real head start for the year. He will no doubt be doing more Matrix courses in the future.

Holiday Accelerated Courses at Matrix | NSW

The Matrix holiday accelerated courses are suitable for Year 11 – 12 students who want to strengthen core skills, gain confidence, consolidate key concepts, and get ahead of their peers. We also recommend the holiday courses for students who want to reinforce their understanding through revision courses, or free up their term with acceleration courses.

The Year 11 and 12 Holiday accelerated courses are 3 hour, focused programs which enables students to complete the entire upcoming term’s content in just 5 or 9 days. This condensed, structured format provides students with a strategic head start, maximising continued learning and retention while freeing up term time for ongoing revision. Some courses have the option to revise the previous term’s content.

For Year 11 English Advanced specifically, the course is a 5 day program which targets one key senior English writing framework. 

The Term course develops skills gradually across several weeks, allowing time for deeper learning, extended practice, and steady improvement.

Our Year 11  – 12 Holiday accelerated courses are available at all our Matrix NSW campuses: Castle Hill, Chatswood, Epping, HurstvilleParramatta, Strathfield, and Sydney City. Class availability can be found in the table above.

Matrix offers the following Year 11 – 12 courses during the upcoming holidays:

  • English Advanced
  • Maths Advanced (Year 12)
  • Maths Extension 1
  • Maths Extension 2 (Year 12)
  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • Physics (Year 12)

These English, Maths, and Science courses (excl. Year 11 English Advanced) are also available as weekly Term Courses at Matrix campuses in Sydney, and as self-paced online lessons via Matrix+.

Yes. Students have the opportunity to revise the previous Matrix term’s content for:

  • Year 11 Maths Extension 1
  • Year 11 Biology (Module 1)
  • Year 11 Chemistry. (Module 1)

Students have the option to revise the previous term’s content for:

  • Year 12 Biology (Module 5)
  • Year 12 Chemistry (Module 5)

Our revision courses help students consolidate their learning, address knowledge gaps, and reinforce key concepts before learning new content.

Yes, students are welcome to enrol in multiple courses for a more comprehensive learning experience. However, each holiday course is intensive and requires a significant time commitment both inside and outside the classroom. We recommend students carefully consider their workload to maintain balance and ensure they can get the most out of each course.
